Daily Words of the Buddha for June 15, 2020

Pāli Word a Day for June 15, 2020
bujjhati — to be awake, to be enlightened, to perceive, to know, recognise, understand

Anupubbena medhāvī, thokaṃ thokaṃ, khaṇe khaṇe,
Kammāro rajatasseva,
niddhame malamattano

One by one, little by little, moment by moment,
a wise one should remove one’s own impurities,
as a smith removes dross from silver.

Dhammapada 18.239
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
